I picked this up on Friday. Needs a good cleaning, sanding and stain/polyurethane. I wanted an aluminum booth but the wife pushed for a wooden indoor version. This is a 1971 Model. Has anyone used one of those rotary to touch tone converters? I was thinking of getting an original rotary phone and installing a converter. I currently have a touchtone home use modified payphone.

Yeah, I wanted an aluminum one because of Bill and Ted's movies. But aluminum ones are hard to find, especially since i wanted it to have it's bifold door intact. Had to keep the wife happy since it went into our dining room. The booth came with a payphone but it is one of the elcotel boards that you have to program. I can get it to power up and take money but won't complete a call, keeps saying i haven't typed enough numbers.
 
Oh yeah! Phone booths are sweet. There is a small town nearby that has a phone booth exactly like the one in the Bill and Ted movies.

I would love to have a phone booth. This summer I had seriously considered getting a pay phone to mount on the pole in my game room. It almost happened but I didn't have quite enough cash. I was looking to get something from the 90's with a Bell or GTE logo on it. Maybe after tax time.
 
I have 2 i will probably be selling to buy the original rotary type that would have came in this booth. 1 is setup for home use and the other needs to be converted. It has a elcotel pcb in it and i don't know how to convert it. But it has all the keys and locks. Shipping is what gets ya these things are outrageously heavy.
